Aṣṭāvakra’s Visit to Kubera: Hospitality, Temptation, and the Ethics of Restraint (अष्टावक्र-वैश्रवणोपाख्यानम्)
सर्व तुदति तत्पापं भावयज्छिवमात्मना । “समस्त लक्षणोंसे हीन अथवा सब पापोंसे युक्त मनुष्य भी यदि अपने हृदयसे भगवान् शिवका ध्यान करता है तो वह अपने सारे पापोंको नष्ट कर देता है
sarvaṁ tudati tat pāpaṁ bhāvayac chivam ātmanā
风神伐由说道：“那使人处处受苦的罪业，当人以整个内在之心观想湿婆主时，便被摧灭。纵使一人毫无吉相，或背负众多罪过，只要从心底禅念湿婆，亦能焚尽所积诸恶。”
